Trek Chokekirao the lost city 4D/3N

• Description

 

Two miles above the Apurimac Gorge stands the imposing fort and town of Choquequirao. Hiram Bingham was brought here by a treasure-hunting provincial official, and so unexpectedly began his adventures in the highlands that led to the discovery of Machu Picchu. Bingham wrote: ''Magnificent precipices guard the ruins on every side Every avenue of ascent, except such as the engineers determined to leave open, was closed, and every strategic spot was elaborately fortified.'' Come see the terrifying canyon of the Apurimac (''Thunder under the Mountain'') and the ancient fortress that controlled it.
